This crime novel was possibly the first to involve a ‘locked room mystery’, in which an attempted murder takes place, but with no obvious way for the perpetrator to have escaped.

Subject: Excellent Mystery
From Wikipedia: The crime takes place at the Chateau du Glandier, located in the forest, near the road leading to Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois and Montlhéry. The daughter of a famous scientist is found the victim of attempted murder. The strange thing is the room is locked from the inside and there are no other ways in. A police detective is involved but the young journalist Joseph Rouletabille is more concerned with unraveling the mystery by use of reasoning and logic.

My comments: The clues are all there - can you figure it out? I'll say that I didn't, but once it's revealed, well of course, why didn't I see that? It's a fun book to listen to and very well read by a wide variety of talented Librivox volunteers.

Subject: Good mystery
This is one of those mysteries that starts out slow but has you wrapped up and listening carefully as it progresses.

Mdm Stangerson is found seriously injured in a locked room and refuses to talk about it to anyone, even those that love her and want to help her. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that she has a terrifying secret to hide. Even after a second vicious attack, she says nothing. Despite her silience, young Routabille is determined to find the guilty party and beat the police to the solution.

Good readers as well. Enjoy!
